The Next President is...
So you’re making a big deal about something that you even admit will never happen—so why should any of us care?

What's wrong with the Air Force?
This…and you’re not being a prick. Additionally, how embarrassing to go from being a MAJCOM CC to being in charge of the zoo. The fact that he (I’m assuming) didn’t request retirement says a lot.

So what will you do if Trump is elected, since you’re obviously afraid that he will suspend the Constitution?

The Next President is...
I imagine there will be some debates—and I agree, Trump needs to highlight the differences on the border and the economy.

The same people trying to call JD Vance weird also believe that men can have babies…which Kamala has said she believes.

DoD gives Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a plea deal.
Perhaps the same type of people who would make this “deal”? https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/08/americas/viktor-bout-profile-prisoner-swap-intl/index.html Or this one: https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/08/americas/viktor-bout-profile-prisoner-swap-intl/index.html

AFSOC SMA killed by police in home
“The preliminary investigation revealed two groups were shooting at each other.” While this is horrible for the family, especially losing two children, this incident appears to be gang related, though of course I don’t know all the facts. If so, when a 16 years old is involved with groups shooting at each other, my initial question comes down to parenting—who is allowing their 16 year old to be involved in such activity? Unfortunately this is happens elsewhere in the country and it has to be fixed with better parenting.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Oh I did a staff job many years ago with the acquisition/test world…that movie is like their “Top Gun” lol. But seriously, this is what I don’t understand about even those on the right—they literally want us to spend more money on “defense” and desire more wars/conflict. Talk about throwing more good money after bad.

1. Well, the Air Force seems to have money for DEI stuff and other nonsense…so while they might be hard broke, resources are finite, and using resources for X then reduces resources for Y. I think this, like every other problem, is a failure of leadership. 2. Are you referring to IFT-R that is/was done in Georgetown TX (link below)? https://www.brunneraerospace.com/usaf-ift-r-program/

The real question is was the Air Force/DoD this bad over 20 years ago and I just noticed it my later years or has it been getting worse and worse? Either way, it’s not good.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
If you haven’t received your contracts bonus on schedule, then your CC, his/her CC, and so on should be asking about this weekly, if not daily. This is no different as not receiving your basic pay. I would also reach out to your Congressman’s office ASAP.

This isn’t recent news—it’s been this way for at least 2-3 years now. And yes, it’s embarrassing, but after seeing how AFMC handled the ISS issues with the seats and the OBOGS issues, no one should be surprised. But it’s good that the AF has allocated resources to things like DEI…you know, what really matters when winning wars.

The new airline thread
If you only need about 60 hours to an unrestricted ATP, why not just go spend the money and get them?—I get that it could cost you around $10K, but that’s a drop in the bucket when you factor in getting seniority sooner. Also, do you have your CTP yet?—I think you might be able to apply some/all of those(?) sim hours towards your total time.

The Next President is...
Make no mistake about it…if the Dem leadership/elites believe they will be better off/more powerful with Kamala as president before November then that’s what will happen. Does anyone for a second truly believe that Biden all of sudden realized that it’s best for him/his party if he’s not on the ticket? He was forced out by whatever coercion or backroom deal that was made. Love or hate Trump, it’s clear he cannot be controlled by the GOP or their donors, or at least not even as close to same way as the Dem politicians…hence one reason why the GOP old school types never wanted him in 2016 and weren’t quick to back him again last year. It makes you wonder how deep the corruption or backroom deals really go?

Too young to have 1st Amendment rights, but old enough to tell school officials that she’s the opposite gender.

I see comments on social media where the left is saying essentially that it’s no big deal and that Trump’s wounds aren’t worse than a kid getting hurt on the playground and needing stitches…this from the same people who said a few years ago that if you didn’t wear a mask that you were going to kill people.

And yet, this was from Putin himself: Putin says Biden is better for Russia than a Trump presidency And my apologies if I’m little more than skeptical when it comes to believing US intelligence officials after what they’ve done to Trump over the years… https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/putin-says-biden-better-russia-trump-presidency-rcna138942- The Next President is...
It somewhat appears that the left is staying with Biden?…unless they’re just waiting for the proper time for him to exit the race? If so, I imagine they’ll want to do it sooner vs later for state ballot reasons as well as to have all this figured out before their convention in August. The most interesting piece of this entire debacle is that maybe Trump seems to have learned an important lesson—keep your mouth somewhat shut and don’t interfere when your opponents are destroying themselves. I know this isn’t in Trump’s nature so it will be interesting to see how long he can keep it going. - The Next President is...
